Race Day infoRmation

getting to tHe staRt LineTake ransit. Translink, including SkyTrain, SeaBus and certain bus routes, opens early on race day. Call 604-953-3333 or visit www.translink.ca for details. If you take SkyTrain, RED, PURPLE, WHITE BIBS: exit at Granville Station. YELLOW, BLUE, GREEN BIBS: exit at Burrard Station. Stadium station is closest to the finish area. West Coast Express runs on race day. Check the “Events” page on www.westcoastexpress.com for details. To avoid line ups, pre-pay your fare with FareCards or FareSavers, visit translink.ca for more information. If you must drive, be forewarned that street closures in the start and finish areas begin at 5:00 a.m. There are plenty of pay parking lots in the downtown core. Look for parking near BC Place Stadium and jog to the start zone.

meet youR fRienDs at tHe staRtPlan to meet your friends before the race at a landmark outside the start zone. Try the Vancouver Public Library, Canada Post building or Waterfront Station. Avoid landmarks within the start zone, such as the Vancouver Art Gallery, Hyatt Re-gency, Hotel Vancouver, as they will be awash in Sun Runners.

tRansPoRt youR geaR to tHe finisH zone

Transport your warm, dry clothes from the start to the finish zone for just $5. Pay at gear check trucks, located at start zone access streets, before 8:30 a.m. on race morning. A Walker’s-only gear check is open on Howe St. until 9:30 a.m. The 2.5K Shaw Mini Sun Runners have their own gear check near the Mini Sun Run start line at Concord Place. Use the perforated gear check tag on your race bib to identify your gear; volunteers will be on hand to provide a plastic bag for your items. Gear must be picked up outside Rogers Arena (@ Gate 16) near the finish line by 1 p.m. Show your race number to claim your gear. Do not check valuables. The Vancouver Sun Run is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Clothing left on the street at the start will be collected after the race and discarded or donated to charity.

Race staRtParticipants are grouped into waves according to their estimated finish time. Waves will start at timed intervals. The competitive wheelchair division starts at 8:40 a.m.; the New Balance Invitational Elite Division starts at 9:00 a.m. Please be patient while the groups ahead of you begin the race. Assemble behind the balloon arch that matches the colour of your race bib. See the map on the back of your race bib for access to streets. Starting positions are on a first-come, first-serve basis within each zone. Arrive early. Yellow zone closes at 8:30 a.m. WALKERS within the PURPLE and RED ZONES are encouraged to arrive at the start by 9:00 a.m., but are advised they will not cross the start line until approximately 9:45 a.m. The ChampionChip timing system times you when you cross the start and finish lines, so there’s no need to deduct the time it takes you to get to the start line from your finish time. For the safety of all participants including children, entrants with strollers, walking poles, baby joggers and assisted wheel-chairs MUST start in the Red Zone and must walk the route, regardless of ability.

Run, Rejoice, RemembeR youR Race Fleet Feet Photos will take photos of every runner (over 50,000 images!) and post them at www.fleetfeetphotos.com after the race. Photos are an excellent way to remember your training, effort and achievement, long after you’ve crossed the finish line. Remember to show your bib and Fleet Feet Photos will do the rest. Good Luck!

ResuLtsComplete finish results, including your name, finish time and placement, will be published in The Vancouver Sun on Monday, April 18. Hunt Personnel Temporarily Yours Corporate Team Challenge results will also be published in that issue, space permitting. Results will be posted at www.sunrun.com later that week. Awards will be mailed to the top finishers in 16 age categories.

timingYou will be timed using the ChampionChip Timing System. The Chip will record your start and finish times and provide you with accurate net results. Your time starts when you cross the start line. The Chip is included in the plastic bag with your race number bib. You must be wearing the Chip on your shoe to receive a finish time (see instructions below). NO CHIP, NO RESULTS. YOU MUST CROSS BOTH THE START AND THE FINISH LINES TO RECEIVE A FINISH TIME. Chips are coded and non-transferable, please DO NOT switch chips or let someone else run with your chip.

cHecK youR cHiP

CHECK the code on the WHITE LABEL on your race bib (NOT THE RACE NUMBER) and make sure the LAST 2 CHARACTERS match the code on the back of your chip. If you are not sure, or if they do not match, go to the solutions desk in the tent near the Concord Place Presentation Centre or call 604-689-9441 before Saturday, April 16. Chips cannot be replaced or exchanged on race day.

attacH youR cHiP to youR sHoeYour Chip must be attached to your shoe to receive a finish time. Loop the supplied plastic strap through the holes in the Chip, string through your shoelace, close the strip and pull snug to your shoe. The centre barrel should be pointing at your toes.

cHiPs aRe DisPosabLe! No need to return your chip at the finish line! Please keep moving when you cross the finish line to the water station so runners don’t back up. Buckets will be available if you would like to recycle your chip.

Lost cHiDRen Complete the form on the back of your child’s Shaw Mini Sun Run race number bib, including a race day contact phone number. Lost children will be brought to the event tent located near the Main Stage at Concord Place and cared for in a secure area until they can be reunited with their families. Check with the information tents located on site at Concord Place. Advise your child(ren) if they become separated from you during the run to look for the Communications Crew that line the route, Medical Crew (blue vests with white cross) or the Volunteer Crew (bright yellow t-shirts). They will bring lost children to the event tent.
